NOT THE BEST PICTURE EVER BUT THE ONLY ONE I COULD GET OF THE TWO GRUMPY BOYS. ETHAN IS TRYING TO ACT LIKE HE WANTS TO SMILE EVEN THOUGH HE WAS REALLY MAD AT ME FOR MAKING HIM TAKE THE PICTURE! TOO BAD...I'M THE MOM WHAT I SAY GOES!

SO AFTER OUR DELICIOUS BARBEQUE WE ALL HAD TICKETS TO GO TO THE SKYSOX BASEBALL GAME AND FIREWORKS SHOW. THEY ARE ACTUALLY SITTING ON A BASEBALL WHICH I WISH SHOWED UP BETTER BUT STILL IT'S A DANG CUTE PICTURE OF THE THREE OF THEM ALL DRESSED UP FOR THE 4TH. WE HAD A BLAST AND THE KIDS REALLY ENJOYED THE FIREWORKS AT THE END OF THE GAME.

SINCE BECKETT WAS NOT INTERESTED IN EITHER THE SLIP AND SLIDE OR THE POOL HE FOUND THE NEXT BEST THING WHICH KEPT HIM BUSY FOR HOURS. HE REFUSED TO WEAR HIS HAT AND ACTUALLY GOT SUNBURNED A BIT ON HIS HEAD BECAUSE HE STOOD THERE SO LONG AND PLAYED WITH THE FOUNTAIN. AT LEAST HE KEPT HIMSELF OCCUPIED

WE DID NOT THINK HE WOULD ACTUALLY GIVE EMMA HUGS WHEN WE ASKED BUT HE WAS MORE THAN WILLING...BUT AS THE DAY WENT ON HE CONTINUED TO GIVE HUGS WHICH EMMA GREW OUT OF REAL QUICK...WE DID NOT HAVE A PICTURE TO SHOW THAT AS HE GAVE HER HUGS HE WOULD PULL HER BACKWARDS AND ONTO THE GROUND. JUST DOESEN'T KNOW HIS OWN STRENGTH YET! BUT IT WAS THE CUTEST THING TO WATCH! :0)
